Anesthesiologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Possible diagnostic options of the lump in your leg are:
1) Infected furuncle
2) Infected epidermoid cyst
3) Infected lipoma
4) Infected carbuncle

You need to see a general surgeon to get that lump examined and if necessary excised and the fluid is sent for histopathology examination. As it's already open, please do not delay anymore. For the time being you can use:
1) Antibiotic Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid
2) Tab. Serratiopeptidase

But please do see your surgeon as soon as possible. It is a minor procedure and you don't need to panic.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
